Answers:
astigmatism is like having a warped surface of the eye- instead of being smooth, it sort of has a bend or a ripple (not exactly, but that's a simple explanation.)
I have astigmatism, and I don't need glasses. Astigmatism can make things just a little fuzzy on the edges.
wearing contacts, colored or plain, won't do anything to your eyes. they do make contacts for people w/ astigmatism if you ever needed themHealth Question & Answer

Astigmatism is a medical condition with the eye on focusing and when your eyes do not work as a team. You need to go to an optometrist in order to be diagnosed with this problem. The best thing is to talk with your optometrist, and then they will be able to determine whether you need a prescription, or whether you can buy the non prescription contacts. Nearsightedness usually follows with astigmatism.Health Question & Answer

Astigmatism is something that will be diagnosed by an optometrist or ophthamologist. Essentially, if the light coming into your eye falls to the side of the retina, you have astigmatism. It can be mild or severe. Mild astigmatism is very common and can be corrected by either glasses or contact lenses. If your astigmatism is more pronounced, there are contacts specifically for astigmatism.

Health Question & Answer

If you had astigmatism, you wouldn't be able to focus your eyes. If you have to ask about having it, chances are you do not.
